Engine Block Painting

I picked up some Duplicolor Engine Primer (DE1612) and another can of Duplicolor Ford Blue (DE1606) for painting the engine block.  I taped everything off and rolled the motor off into the grass by my driveway.  I put three coats of the primer followed by three coats of the Ford Blue.

Aside from painting the block, one of the first things I did was wipe down all the Comp Cams hydraulic lifters with Crown mineral spirits per the instructions. I then placed them in a container filled with Pennzoil 5w30 oil and then sealed the containter. I'll ultimately use 10w30 oil in the engine but I had 5w30 available tonight and the oil used for this is not crucial.  I want them to soak as long as possible so they fill with oil.
